Sometimes .* is at the end. On OS X for example:

````sshd[47831]: error: PAM: authentication failure for james from 205.186.180.88 via 192.168.1.201````

Looking into it, the PAM error strings come from `pam_strerror.c`, included via `[security|pam]/pam_appl.h`. So the error  will depend on the version of libpam.[so|dylib] your sshd was linked against.

Anyway, will now move these discussions to your new issue.
